Scientists have finally given the all-clear to Earth from a newly discovered asteroid. NASA and the European Space Agency said Tuesday that after two months of observations, scientists have almost fully ruled out any threat.

    Darn, I was hoping it was gonna enter the atmosphere at an extremely shallow angle, only hit Air Force One, and zip right on through to open space again.

    Small chance yes, but still a chance.

    This asteroid must be a disappointment to its entire family.
